Chapter 612 Qinxiang Garden
Wan Laoer pulled the man off the street and prepared to go back to drive the carriage.
"Uncle, let Bai Zhi go with you. She can help."
Wan Quan said loudly.
Wan Lao Er smiled and waved his hands, "No need, Second Uncle can do it."
Wan Quan gave Bai Zhi a wink, and Bai Zhi immediately followed.
"Okay, everyone has left, and we are the only ones left. If you want to buy anything else, tell big brother."
"Brother, I don't want to buy anything, but I want to see the life in Texas City. Just take me for a walk. Just walk anywhere you think is good."
Wan Quan didn't let Fubao take a single step. From the time he left home until now, Fubao had been hanging on him like a kangaroo.
Wan Quan took a look at the now deserted city and didn't know where to have fun. He usually spent more time in the camp, so he didn't know much about food, drinks and entertainment.
Fubao might as well say what he wants to do. He also has a purpose. It seems that he still doesn't do enough homework.
However, Wanquan thought of a place. If we talk about a fun place in Texas, there is indeed one, that is Qinxiang Garden.
Wan Quan didn't know who the owner of Qinxiang Garden was. He just heard that it was a woman whose identity was very mysterious.
Qinxiang Garden was only built in the last year, but once it was completed, it became a paradise for powerful people in Texas. Not everyone can enter there. Those who can enter are all well-known figures.
Wanquan has never been there, but I heard from those old-timers in the army who have been there that after going there once, they want to go there a second time.
"Sister, brother will take you to a very fun place today, okay?"
"Okay, okay, let's go, big brother, is there anything delicious there?"
"Delicious food? There should be some, right?"
Wan Quan guessed that the food there was not cheap and should be good too, probably to Fubao's taste.
"Shall we go then?"
Qinxiang Garden is in the west of the city, and the General's Mansion is in the east of the city. The two places are far apart. Wan Quan has to go back and ride a horse first, and he also has to wear something that can prove his identity, otherwise he can't get in.
The two arrived at Qinxiang Garden just before noon.
Although it is still chilly in spring, Qinxiang Garden really lives up to its name. Standing at the gate of the garden, you can smell the refreshing fragrance of flowers.
"Wow, it smells so good, big brother. Is this the fun place you mentioned? Qin-Xiang-Garden." Fubao looked at the three powerful characters hanging on the ancient plaque. He pointed at the characters with his tender white fingers and read them out one by one.
"Yes, it's here, Qinxiang Garden."
It was almost noon and there was a constant stream of people coming to Qinxiang Garden, both men and women, young and old.
From the gate, it can be seen that Qinxiang Garden should be a place full of elegance and simplicity. Wan Quan really couldn't understand what those old bones in their military camp, who could not even read or write, could do here?
At this time, a melodious sound of piano came from the garden. Even though Wanquan could not understand the emotions conveyed in the music, he thought it was very nice. Suddenly, the sound of the piano changed abruptly, from its original soft and boneless sound to a murderous and decisive sound that made people's blood boil.
Wanquan was immersed in this song and somewhat fascinated.
"Big brother, shall we go in?"
Fubao couldn't wait any longer. She saw that more than ten people had already gone in. It was just dinner time, and Fubao was afraid that there would be no seats for them and they would not be able to eat, which would mean their trip would be in vain.
At Fubao's urging, Wanquan came back to his senses from the sound of the piano.
"Oh, okay, big brother will take you in."
Wanquan carried Fubao to the gate. The gate was made of camphor wood, and he could smell the unique fragrance of camphor wood.
This garden may look ordinary, but it actually holds a lot of mysteries.
"My lord, please show me your ID card."
A man in colorful clothes, with an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant, and whose words and expressions revealed just the right amount of distance, making people feel neither neglected nor uncomfortable.
Wan Quan pulled out his badge from his waist and showed it to the other party, who bowed.
"Greetings, General Wan. This is the first time General Wan has come to our Qinxiang Garden. Do you need me to arrange for someone to accompany you?"
"No, no, we just want to stroll around. By the way, you just need to tell us where to eat. Also, how is the food in your house? Is it delicious?" Fubao refused immediately without waiting for Wanquan to answer. She didn't want to bring a follower along.
Hearing this, the man smiled and nodded, bowed to make way, and made a gesture of invitation.
Wanquan brought Fubao into Qinxiang Garden.
Qinxiang Garden is really big. I heard that it was built by changing several streets and adding a rich family's garden. It is said that a mountain of silver was spent on its construction, but the exact amount is unknown. However, judging from the scale, a lot of silver must have been invested.
When entering Qinxiang Garden, the first thing you see is a floor-to-ceiling screen wall, on which the terrain distribution map of the entire garden is clearly depicted.
Fubao took a careful look and memorized the entire landscape of the garden in his mind.
"Big brother, shall we go? I want to go to the Gourmet Garden to eat first, and then I'll go to the Herbal Fragrance Garden and the Exotic Animal Garden."
Qinxiang Garden contains thirty gardens, twenty-four of which are named after the twenty-four solar terms. The other six gardens include the Garden of Exotic Flowers and Herbs, the Garden of Rare Birds and Animals, the Garden of Medicinal Fragrance, the Garden of Singing and Dancing, the Garden of Bamboo, and the Garden of Delicacies.
"Fubao, wait, let big brother take a look, otherwise you will get lost."
"Don't worry, big brother. You won't get lost. Fubao has remembered everything."
Fubao pointed at his head with his chubby fingers.
Wanquan knew that Fubao was smart, but he was shocked that he could remember all of this after just reading it once.
"Sister, have you memorized everything?"
"Yes, big brother, let's go quickly. Fubao is so hungry. It's still a long way from the gate to the delicious food garden."
"It's okay. If you feel tired, we can take a carriage. There's a carriage waiting over there."
"Where? Can we take a carriage? That's great, let's just take the carriage there? I want to eat."
Wan Quan was amused by Fubao's cute and coquettish appearance. He is really a happy guy.
Wan Quan waved his hand, and immediately a waiter came forward and asked, "General, what can I do for you?"
"We need to take a carriage to the Gourmet Garden."
"General, please wait a moment. The carriage will be here soon."
The two of them didn't have to wait long before a carriage that was different from the ones used at home slowly drove over.
This carriage is different from ordinary carriages. Ordinary carriages are made of firewood, but the carriage of Qinxiang Garden is covered with a canopy, which looks a bit like a carriage. When the weather is cold, the carriage is covered with white translucent gauze tents to keep out the wind and cold. There are also hand warmers, foot warmers and fox furs on the carriage for warmth. You don't feel cold when sitting in the carriage, and you can also enjoy the scenery along the way.
If it is summer, only a canopy is needed to block the sun. Without the curtain, the view is wider. If it is a woman, a carriage with gauze will be used so that people outside cannot see inside, but people inside can see outside.
